I have a PDF file(E book) with 19 MB contain 52 pages. I have already inserted and display the PDF file in my web page.
<embed src="file_name.pdf" width="800px" height="2100px" />
When i load my web page, its loading whole PDF File (19 MB). Its taking too much time to load.
I want to load the first page only while load the website. After visitor click the 2nd page, the 2nd page needs to download and visible to the visitor.
May i know its possible? or any-other method available for my need.
Thank You!
Yes, it is possible. You need to meet the following three requirements though.
PDF file needs to be saved in Linearized mode (also known as "Fast Web View").
The web server hosting the PDF file must support HTTP range request headers.
The user must be using a PDF viewer that supports reading Linearized PDF files.
If (1) is not true, then you need a tool/library that can convert non-linearized PDF files to linearized.
As for (3) unless you control what viewer the user uses, then this is out of your control. For example, at least on Windows 10, Firefox, Chrome and new Chromium Edge all support reading Linearized PDF files.
I have a Crystal Report 8.5 file, that I need to export to PDF.
That report contains a field that I need to represent as Bar Code. To achieve that I use a TrueType font.
If I open the generated PDF file on that machine I see the bar code.
But if I open it from another machine that doesn't have the font installed, I see only numbers.
How can I assure that the codebar is visible on the PDF even if the computer doesn't have the font installed?
If you do not want to include a font, you can generate an image and call it via HTTP.
The barcode below is generated using an online barcode generator courtesy of WASP:
http://www.waspbarcode.com/services/waspbarcode/barcodegen.ashx?symbology=Code128&code=font_missing_31301980
Steps for Report:
Create blank JPG using MS Paint. Resize without aspect ratio checked on.
Insert image placer holder such as 50x323 PNG into Crystal Report
Right-click on graphic and select Format Graphic...
Click on Picture tab, click on Formula, Enter Formula
Create a formula where like the URL above. You want to retrieve the barcode data from the database and concatenate the prefix and barcode field together:
"http://www.waspbarcode.com/services/waspbarcode/barcodegen.ashx?symbology=Code128&code=" + {table.barcode_field}
Take care to use your own online barcode generator. WASP service may not work if people starting abusing the service and generate too many barcodes for reports.
You can also generate Code 3 of 9 barcodes using HTML only, but I haven't tried in Crystal Report formula yet.
You have to embed the barcode font into the PDF!
Very likely the following has happened:
The PDF is generated on a machine that (obviously) has the mentioned TrueType barcode font installed locally, but the barcode font isn't embedded into the PDF.
Hence the same machine can still display that barcode correctly (because the font is available from the machine's local installation).
The same barcode font is NOT installed on your $other machine.
Hence $other machine cannot display that barcode correctly because it has to use a substitute font.
To rectify that situation, you have two options:
Install that barcode font onto every single machine which will ever have to process, display or print that PDF. This is the worse alternative.
Make your PDF generating software embed the barcode font into the PDF. Then you do not need to care about any machine that ever opens, displays, processes or prints the PDF. This is the better alternative!
If you use a barcode image library, such as this barcode 3 of 9 image creating library for Crystal Reports, you will need not install font to each computers.
You must have the Bar Code font installed on the machine that is rendering the report if you are exporting to PDF because Crystal Reports does not embed fonts due to licensing issues.
However, you can print to a PDF printer, and select the option to embed the fonts into the file.
There are issues embedding fonts with 8.5 and SAP is not going to be very helpful as it is such an old version.
I had done this, so whenever you want the custom font style in crystal report, you have to install that font in server machine where your application host.
So if font is available, then report will map the font style and display as normal font.
There is one rule when you want other than standard font : as you installed font in your local machine to check pdf, the same process you will done on to the application server where your application are host or simply say the location (means server) / computer of your crystal report's physical files.
To show bar-code value in your crystal report, you just need to choose font in the format text of controls. Reports automatically display that, if it find the font, other wise gives error of font missing or not show properly bar-code section.
I am tagging a small PDF (4pg), and midway through the second page the tags stopped appearing in the tags and the reading order panel after I chose the tag I wanted via TouchUp Reading Order. If I open the content panel, correct containers are created, so i see:
- Container <H3>Some text
- Container <H3>Some text
- Container <H3>Some text
- Text: Some Text
Does anybody know how to get the three panels synced again?
The PDF mentioned above has some major internal errors, specifically "General Format Errors."
To find these, I ran a PDF Syntax Issue report - which provides details about the PDF in question. This PDF had ~4 pages of errors.
The conclusion was to regenerate the PDF from the source file. (I don't have this yet so I will edit this after I get it.)
To run the Report
Acrobat 9.5- Advanced menu > Print Production > Prefllight. By default, all reports/profiles will be shown. The Syntax Report is under the PDF analysis section, or use the find. Highlight the report then click analyze.
Acrobat X- The Print Production is now a panel, and there is a Preflight section.
I have a requirement for a feature for adding text / images to a PDF file in our WPF application.
I am looking for any free / commercial controls that allow the following tasks:
[1] identify the coordinates, page location where to drop the text / image (preferably by converting mouse location to PDF/page location)
[2] embed text / image in the selected location (currently doable with free PDF api's)
[3] undo placed text / image or move it dynamically (latter is preferred)
Thanks.
I use the program Livecycle to add interactice text in my PDF's
First I creat the dokument in InDesign then I make it to a PDF. Open LiveCykle insert the textboxes save as PDF.
Then you open Acrobat pro and choose Advanced > Enable User Rights....
In Livecykle you also have the opertunity to insert at imagebox - when the user clicks in the field it opens the explorer on the pc, so you can browse after a JPG picture
There're diffirent options on how the picture should be scaled in the imagebox
We are using Blackberries to display PDF reports. Here are background details on the problem:
The PDF reports are created using JasperReports.
Report format can be changed.
Different report formats are available (as per the feature set of JasperReports).
The PDF reports are on a website, too, so retaining a single source is ideal.
The page setup is in Landscape.
Here are the issues we have encountered:
Users cannot see a full line of text on the Blackberry.
The size of the PDF and UI makes reading difficult, at best.
The menu option to convert the PDF to text loses too much formatting to be useful.
The text is blurry (and too small).
Here are solutions we have thought about:
Create a second report (not ideal) in text or HTML format.
Simplify the original report format (not really an option, given the amount of data).
What other options are there for making a report available on the Blackberry, given the constraints of JaserReports, such that the report:
Is legible?
Is formatted for readability?
Displays quickly?
Essentially, we'd like to make sure there are no simple solutions we have overlooked for displaying legible PDFs on Blackberries.
We convert TIFFs to PDF for one of our applications, and have had mixed results with BlackBerry PDF viewers. These were our results.
Working
The following PDF readers worked for our purposes:
RepliGo Reader v1.1.1.1 - $19.95
Works fine.
DataViz Documents To Go Premium Edition v1.003.001 - $49.99
Works and includes a word wrap option to get the current zoom level to fit the available screen width, by moving text onto subsequent lines. Might fit your needs.
Non-Working
The following PDF readers did not work for our purposes:
BeamReader v1.0.8 - $17.99
BeamSuite v3.0.2 - $49.99
These couldn't open our PDF files ("Unsupported document format"). In addition they did not register as a PDF content handler, required for our application.
MasterDoc - $19.95
eOffice - $29.95
These also did not register as a PDF content handler. We had a range of problems with these, including installation issues, and not being able to open any PDFs at all.

I hear it's the best at reading PDFs for BlackBerry
How about outputting the file to an RTF or an image file (JPG/GIF), and then viewing them in your web browser?
If that doesn't work well on the native browser, I would focus on viewing the file via some other web browser - for example, Opera Mini. I know for images it's easier to navigate "big" images in Opera Mini than the native browser.
If your blackberries are on a BES server, couldn't you display the reports as HTML on your corporate intranet? - Then you could email a link to the blackberry and simply browse the report.
You can convert pdf to image via xpdf and than show image. xpdf is a BEST renderer of pdf.
